Try and succeed method

It is also commonly known as the trial and error method, however I would like to change it to “try and be happy that you have tried”. I believe that it is better to have tried and failed rather than never tried and live to regret it. There comes a point in life where you would like to try things out, and you are worried of the losses which might be incurred to yourself if you tried it. At the same time, you would be thinking about the benefits which could be reaped from trying.

This method can applied in many aspects of our lives. Examples are as follows:

1. 1. Starting a business – Of course you would be thinking of having your own business instead of just being an employee for the rest of your life. Are you willing to spare part of your savings and your time to start a business you love? Say you like to bake, and one of your dreams is to have your own bakery and you have been saving enough cash to allow yourself to open your own business. Are you willing to trade your stable, secure job to own your own business? There are of course risks involved here, you might have to quit your job and spend a significant amount of money for your business. Nothing is done without risks, even the current job which you think is secure might not be as secure as it seems. The upside of starting your own business is that you have control over your own future, you will be doing what you love and last but not least, you can be the boss.
2. 2. Life – Many things in life which you could spare some time and think and try doing are actually worthwhile. Would you try bungee jumping, rock climbing, hiking and all the other activities which we do not normally carry out? Some people would be worried to death thinking about these activities when these activities are actually as safe as driving your own car. Let’s say you are currently in New Zealand and you were offered to go bungee jumping with a group of friends, would you do it? As typical Asians we would be worried sick about safety and all the other nonsense. But would you regret it once you get back from your trip? Another example is when your relative and friends invite you to join them for a trip to Europe, the United States or China? We would normally think, I am going to burn a hole in my wallet. But 20 to 30 years down the road, when you are old and cannot travel, you will regret not being able to travel to those places right?
3. 3. Love – This I belief only applied to all introverts and most typical Asians. What would you do if you see someone you like? Would you just keep quiet and play it out? Or take the initiative and go after that person. The same question goes to both sexes. Of course, you might be rejected as that person maybe unavailable or not in the market, but how would you know if you never tried? The worst you can get out of asking someone is just a bruised ego right? Who knows you might be getting your love of your life?

Conclusion. Just to it!!!! J
